Tips from the Community

Andrea und Huskys 🐺
April 24, 2025, Schloss Seeburg

Seeburg is dominated by the castle of the same name, visible from afar and rising majestically on a peninsula above the Süßer See (Sweet Lake). It is the western part of an ancient, very large refuge. Since the late 1990s, the castle has been divided into private ownership, changing hands several times. This has resulted in the castle remaining unrenovated, standing empty, and falling into disrepair. The Widow's Tower and the castle church, however, have been renovated and are owned by a fruit farm. They are used as a residence, for vacation apartments, as a registry office, and for concerts. The new orangery on the lake promenade represents a further step toward tourism. The architecturally sophisticated new building will allow year-round operation.

Very beautiful path through the vineyards. You ride mostly on gravel and always have wonderful views of the Mühlengraben and the Süßen See.

The church is always open, but don't go past the donation box.💰

Nice 5km running route along the north bank. Starting from the Nordstrand car park (which can also be used as a starting point for a run around the lake), the road runs along the lake (north side). Further along the residential road, after 2km there is only an asphalt cycle path/footpath. It's a leisurely walk, and every now and then there's access to the lake.

This is the ideal place to take a break while running around the lake. Benches invite you to take breaks to stretch.
